If , then
so the characteristic polynomials, eigenvalues, and algebraic multiplicities agree. The converse is false: and have the same characteristic polynomial, but the first is diagonalisable and the second is not, so they cannot be similar.
The characteristic polynomial is
For , the eigenspace is spanned only by , so its geometric multiplicity is one although its algebraic multiplicity is two. Hence is not diagonalisable.
The signed displacement of the sphere centre from the plane is . Orthogonal projection gives the circle centre
Pythagoras gives
A real circle exists when : equality gives tangency and radius zero, while strict inequality gives a genuine circle.
The cross product of the plane normals is proportional to , so
The point on the intersection perpendicular to is
which satisfies both plane equations and . Hence the line is .
The equally inclined line has direction . The distance between the two skew lines is
No. Take
Both functions are nonconstant on every interval and nondifferentiable at zero, but is differentiable.
No. Take , , and . Then is not differentiable at zero, but is differentiable there.
No. Take , , and . The function is not differentiable at , but is differentiable. Neither function is constant on an interval.
Apply part (b) to the normal matrix . Since , one has
Thus is an eigenvector of with eigenvalue .
Normality gives
Therefore one norm vanishes exactly when the other does.
For ,
Multiplying on the left by and on the right by shows that it is equivalent to . Taking inverses gives . Thus is unitary exactly when is a normal matrix.
Since
the Inverse Fourier transforms of phase factors give
and
From one obtains
For the quotient is . Its principal logarithm is , so the principal value is
The Fourier transform of a derivative gives
Since ,
An arbitrary additive constant in affects only the zero-frequency Dirac delta function when transforms are interpreted as distributions.
The values of are . Hence
These are infinitely many distinct positive real numbers.
For the stated angular-frequency Fourier transform convention, the convolution theorem gives
The Fourier inversion theorem and the assumed absolute integrability therefore imply
Since and the principal argument is ,
All logarithms are , .
The continuous approximation of a Riemann-integrable function follows here by choosing partitions with upper-minus-lower sum below . On each subinterval choose the midpoint of the infimum and supremum to form a step function . Then
Replace each of the finitely many jumps of by a linear transition on intervals of sufficiently small total length, obtaining a continuous with . Hence , and uniformly for every subinterval ,
Changing variables gives
The average of a continuous function over tends to as . The two terms therefore tend to and , proving the stated limit.
For a bounded function, the lower and upper integrals are the supremum of lower Darboux sums and infimum of upper Darboux sums. It is Riemann integrable when these agree.
Here for , so . On it has only finitely many discontinuities and is piecewise continuous, hence integrable. On its upper-minus-lower contribution is at most . Taking proves integrability on .
No. The Darboux theorem says that every derivative has the intermediate-value property. Choose . In a deleted neighborhood of , the assumed limit puts within of . Darboux's theorem applied between and any such would require values near , which that neighborhood excludes. This contradiction shows that cannot be a derivative.
